As mentioned before, I don't think putting register-level information into the binding is the right approach here.

Ignore this comment. After reading patch 2, I concluded that your choice of #phy-cells=0 is probably more appropriate here.

In general, if the board designer follows the board design guideline, this isn't necessary. Unfortunately, I can not control what customer do. If these setting is NOT driven by DTS, then I or others may have to change the driver every time there is an new board.

Module parameters are certainly not a solution for this, that would make the problem worse. Would it be possible to read out the values that were set by the firmware at startup and reuse those during run-time? I assume that the devices are already brought up when the kernel starts. If that s not possible, change the properties to be named after what the setting does and make the values be units that are sensible to a board designer, e.g. (specifics are totally made up here) - polarity: If present, override the polarity of the signal line. zero for negative polarity, one for positive polarity. If absent, use the firmware default. - signal-clock-frequency: If present, override the signal clock frequency. This value is defined in HZ - x-y-time: If present, override the timing setting for the X/Y signal time, in nanoseconds. This way, you can reuse the properties for an updated version of the device that has similar settings but a different register layout.

But for DTS, there is no such firmware. I will make the entry more friendly for DTS. For ACPI, I am thinking that the BIOS/Firmware will just initialize it. As long as the clock isn't reset, the value will be there. Let's agree on these: 1. DTS - use more friendly name 2. ACPI - handled by the BIOS/Firmware -Loc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

[Loc Ho] Not necessary for network booting, SD boot, and USB boot with ramdisk. -Loc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

But why not just initialize them all if you already have the boot loader contain all the drivers? There really isn't any difference between passing an ACPI blob or a DT blob to the kernel, as far as the boot loader is concerned.

The draw back would be slow down the boot loader. For now, let me implement the PHY for DTS and no PHY for ACPI. From previous emails, it was discussed that PHY driver is required for DTS. For ACPI, it is the responsible of the firmware. -Loc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
